Fictional Character Biography
The Soul Skinner was a mutant and a Russian citizen. When his daughter Oskana died, the Soul Skinner found out that his wife was a spy for the Russian government. Outraged that she did not use her resources to save Oskana, the Soul Skinner killed his wife.
Some time later, in the town of Neftelensk, the Soul Skinner had the town’s population in a catatonic state, save for the children. Skinner did the same thing to Russian operatives Blind Faith, Darkstar, Omega Red, and had Omega Red under his control. With the help of Omega Red, Soul Skinner captured the X-Men, and exploited their fears and fantasies, but Colossus and operative Colonel Alexi Vazhin escaped. Later, after revealing to Colossus that Russian soldiers had killed his parents, the Soul Skinner captured and fought the X-Men by channeling his abilities through the mind of an unconscious Psylocke. During the fight, the Soul Skinner was struck by the reawakened telepath's psychic knife, which contained the innocence of the town’s children, rendering him into a catatonic state. The Soul Skinner was then shot and killed by Colonel Vazhin.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Accidents will occur in the best regulated families; and in families not regulated by that pervading influence which sanctifies while it enhances the—a—I would say, in short, by the influence of Woman, in the lofty character of Wife, they may be expected with confidence, and must be borne with philosophy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
